Osprey

Hi, first post and pretty good! Yesterday June 30th at around 9.30 am an Osprey flew over my house in Triangle. I watched it for a couple of minutes as it headed SW. Thought it was a seagull at first, then a buzzard but in binoculars it was clearly an Osprey (I've seen dozens in the US).
Is this a regular migration route or have I just been incredibly lucky?
